    Thanks Serenade_N! I am definitely recharged and ready to get back at it. Participating in challenges on MFP really helped me keep on track while on vacation IE - no late night snacking and tons of walking. Usually put on about 5 lbs while away and only put on 1.2 this time. Yet still ate well, enjoyed some drinks and had a lot of fun.

    Welcome @vb4evr !
    Wow, y'all are amazing! I've been a total slug, and yes, lots of excuses. Looks like a repeat of last month for me, where I just got it half done. Hoping to get some done while I'm on my trip, but until then, I'm swamped right now with work and stuff to do to prep for trip.
    Hope everyone who celebrates has a Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy Hanukkah! Have a great weekend!!

    @b3achy
    With all that you've accomplished in the many challenges you are in, I'm pretty sure no one here is judging. Besides, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are.
    Thanks for setting up this challenge!!!

    135terry-you keep it real-awesome!
    Alipsie-thank you!!

    Confession-I'm feeling a little bit like sfhappy today, feel progress. To think seriously I did not like planks at all-their kinda fun now, the core, or part between end of ribs and top of pelvis feel like they're actually there. Even when vacuuming I can certainly feel it. In awe of the general homosapien body today. Really want to be kind to it this Xmas and eat foods that flourish it. There that's my hippiness for today! Haha. Flower plank power!

    Merry Christmas to you as well, and to everyone else here in the thread! No worries on the planks, just keep the monthly challenges going and we'll be back. You, and everyone joining these challenges, keeps me motivated. Thank you! I'll be trying to resist skipping days the next three days since I have them off. ;)

    Don't blame you a bit. I've only had steroid shots in my back before but it was pretty much one of the most painful things I've experienced like.. ever. Ok not "the" most but close. I can imagine how bad the knee hurts as I've had my right knee repaired in the past. Hope the steroids help!

    Not as bad as I was thinking, but getting sore. Have had many a surgery on my right knee and awaiting one more. Hoping I wake up tomorrow and it is like christmas morning and there is absolutely no pain. heh. I can dream. =)
    Have a great night.
